GALAPAGOS SAFARI CAMP- Galapagos Islands
A Galapagos experience in itself is miraculous, but seeing Galapagos from within, from a completely different perspective evokes a whole new sense of emotion. Look up…up…high in the wild highlands and you’ll find the Galapagos Safari Camp. It’s a swanky tented lodge – cool enough yet rustic enough to offer the authentic inland experience, with stunning views of the Pacific and the National Park to boot. Taking cues from the traditional African safari, guests need not sacrifice comfort and luxury in exchange for being able to be as close to nature as possible. Rather, these luxe tents were built out of passion and a love for the land, and sit serenely in the hills near a timeless infinity pool and stylish central lodge. All the while keeping in mind responsible practices that give back to this pristine part of the Earth, as these Enchanted Isles after all are fragile ecosystems new to tourism, and easily strained by human presence. So, you have the opportunity to give back yourself- perhaps plant a tree and learn more about flora & fauna, and protection of wildlife in general.

Their Classic Safari package is a great way to go, and ideal for combining with a cruise experience as well to be able to enjoy as many of the islands as possible. It’s a meticulously designed journey filled with wildlife experiences, visits with local experts, science, snorkeling, and everything else you would never expect. Kind of like the Galapagos Islands themselves…. http://www.galapagossafaricamp.com/

RED MANGROVE LODGES- Galapagos Islands

Ah, the Galapagos Islands - fresh, captivating, and never short on surprises. This is perhaps one of the last remaining places on Earth where everything is as nature intended and discoveries are waiting to be found at every turn. About 175 years ago, poor Charles Darwin had no other option but to explore the islands by boat as there was no place to lay his weary head...fast forward to today, where amateur explorers from far and wide now have another option besides the standard cruise. Our Galapagos discovery is Red Mangrove Lodges, the only brand in the Galapagos featuring lodges on many of the islands, thus offering a multitude of land activities and completely eliminating the "disembark/slowboat/ground tour/back on slowboat/reboard ship" routine that always leaves you feeling as though you may have missed out on something when time on land runs out. Fear not, these lodges are about as eco-friendly as a lodge can get, never interfering with the natural state of affairs on these beautiful islands.

Packages at Red Mangrove Lodges generally include:
- Transfers IN / OUT to/from Baltra or San Cristobal Airport
- Welcome drink
- Accommodation at Aventura, Floreana and Isabela Lodges / San Cristobal
- All meals included on a fixed menu basis
- Snacks / Navigations
- Excursions with English speaking Naturalist guide
- Use of bikes in Isabela and Aventua Lodge
- Internet service in Isabela and Aventura
- 25% discount for children under 10 years old

More time on land means more time to discover...and explore.
